IKTCH 36″ Wall Mount Range Hood, 900 CFM, Convertible

Unit runs nice with very powerful suction, BUT I had to cut down the chimney, 5 inches on the outer piece and 2 inches on the inner piece and transfer the holes to make it work for a regular 8 foot ceiling.
This is not for someone who is not skilled in metal work. Luckily I am a skilled tradesman, but it took awhile to make it fit. It now looks great. Also the provided screws were too short and had to use my own screws to mount the plastic baffle unit to the fan. The plastic wrap was unnecessary and too difficult to remove as it took us almost a half hour to remove. They could use other easier to remove material to protect the finish. After seeing how other brands are installed via You Tube this is an engineering nightmare in comparison.

Easy installation… powerful hood… happy wife, happy life🤣🤣🤣

The hood works and looks good. I have an air filter which shows the ppm in the kitchen real time and it is night and day since I put in the hood. If we would cook without it, it would be like 300 ppm. With the hood, it just stays at normal levels like 3 ppm. This was a big project for me because I had to do all the attic ducting, etc. I also had to cut the cowling to shorter lengths, for that I used a dremel. The only gripe is that the motion sensing is picky but we just don’t use it and push the button instead and it is fine. The noise level at 1-2 is fine, but settings 3-4 are significant like it would annoy you watching tv nearby. But the thing is we haven’t seen the need to use more than 1-2 based on the filter readings.

To sum it up this range hood is nowhere near the advertised 900 cfm, it’s more in the 300 range. We set it at Max and placed a single sheet of lose leaf paper under it and it stuck it about 3 inches away from the intake; barely any suction.
We had one of those “under cabinet” one’s that was 300 CFM. Comparing the two, can’t tell any difference in pull. Besides that, it’s very good quality and it looks amazing. Also the noise level is very low. I wonder if it was really pumping 900 CFM Will it sound this low?
I was reading other reviews on here, I couldn’t believe how they believe the suction is good SMH, probably don’t have a clue about CFM. I took out my leaf blower that pumps out 280 CFM so my wife would have an idea and she was shocked. She told me that the hoods suction had to be less than the leaf blower.
I was generous with the 3 stars mainly because the only negative part about the hood was (probably the most important part) the advertised suction power which is very bad. One last thing which is minimal is the fact the display showed a “clock” but there’s no way to set it up, just the timer works.

We are very pleased with the fan hood. Really powerful fan which takes care of all those cooking smells which are created. Makes a massive difference compared to our 30 year old previous one. And best of all, the old tiles were still able to be used. Were not damaged at all in the replacing by the two men who removed the old one and hooked up the new.

I like the look and the way to operate it is simple. Has pretty good suction but is noisier then I expected. I was expecting the noise this hood makes at the first speed to be the noise made by the 3rd or 4th speed. You can’t have a normal conversation in the kitchen with this thing even at the first speed.

 I bought this to replace a different brand that I bought on Amazon and it only lasted a little over a year. The IKTCH Wall Mount Range Hood 30 inch Gesture Sensing & Touch Control Switch Panel Kitchen Vent Hood is the best I have owned or seen in stores. It is very well packaged and arrived on time and without any damage. It is so easy to install and when installed is solid. The brackets keep it tight and nothing rattles. I like the width of the exhaust vent, it is wider than what I had and looks so much better. You have the ability to make this as high as you want as it’s two pieces that slide into each other. These have a channel so they do not rattle and it stays solid. Also it is thicker than what I previously had and cleans up nicely. This has a standard 3 prong plug so you just need an outlet. Once installed, it is so easy to use and so far is working perfectly for me. If you want to turn the light on and start the fan on low speed, you swipe your hand from left to right. Remember you need to swipe past both sensors for it to work, as you can see in my video. Then swiping again to get to the different speeds. The fan is powerful but not too loud which I like. Plus it has a timer that starts at 3 minutes and can go up to 15 minutes. Having the motion sensors are nice because of your hands are dirty or greasy, you wont get the control panel dirty. The lights are very bright, again you can see in my video how they light up the whole stove area and even parts of my countertop. It has comes with a remote control which I had no issues with. There is a charcoal grill cover for the motor which helps with eliminating odors when the fan is on. I like this since I didn’t vent it directly out. You do have that choice and they also include the hose and accessories you would need for a direct vent. I didn’t get that with the other brand, so this is a plus also. The stainless steel baffle grease grills are solid and so easy to remove, wash and put back in. You just need to put them into your dishwasher. The other thing I really like is the warranty. My other hood had a one year warranty. The iKTCH has a 10 year warranty on the motor and a 5 year warranty on the control panel and lights. That to me is a huge selling point and shows the quality of the unit. I made the video so you could see how it looks installed, how solid and well made it is and how well it works. I am extremely happy with this and highly recommend it.
